“…About 19% had a household size between 1 and 5 people, 63.0% had a household size between 6 and 10 people, 17.0% had a household size between 10 and 15 people, and 1.0% had a household size of 16 and above. The results agreed with Badamosi et al (2023), Oladoyin et al (2023). From the above analysis, it can be seen that the majority of respondents (81.1%) had a household size of over 6 years.…”

Resource utilization inefficiency poses a significant barrier to enhancing food production in Nigeria. This research assessed the efficiency of resource use among yam cultivators in the Irele Local Government Area of Ondo State, Nigeria, through a study involving 100 yam farmers chosen at random. Information was gathered using interview schedules and a systematically organized questionnaire. The analysis employed descriptive statistics, gross margin analysis, and multiple regression models. Findings indicate that the mean age of the farmers surveyed was 55.35 years, with 60% boasting over 30 years of agricultural experience. A majority (84%) were male heads of households, and 85% were married. Approximately 63% of the participants reported having households of 6 to 10 members, indicating relatively large family sizes. Around 79% had received primary education or had no formal schooling. The average farm size was found to be 0.70 hectares, with 79% managing no more than 1 hectare, categorizing them as small-scale farmers. The research also uncovered that yam cultivation is financially viable, yielding an average gross margin and net income per hectare of N94,636.13 and N83,491.60, respectively. The primary challenges faced by these farmers include insufficient funding, inadequate storage facilities, and the elevated costs of planting materials. Consequently, the study suggests that the government should formulate and implement agricultural policies aimed at ameliorating these challenges to boost yam production in the region. Keywords: Agricultural Policy, Yam Production, Resource Efficiency, Small-Scale Farmers, Nigeria.

“…The average household size of the sampled respondents regardless of commercialization status was about seven members. This is similar to the findings of [31][32][33]. Households comprising of 7 members is a fairlylarge one which may reduce or threaten respondent's vulnerability to food insecurity.…”

The research investigated the calorie consumption and vulnerability status among rice farmers in Ekiti State, Nigeria. Employing a multi-stage sampling technique, 420 respondents were selected, and data were collected through a well designed questionnaire. Analysis involved descriptive statistics, a vulnerability index, and an ordinary least squares regression model. Findings indicated that vulnerable rice farming households typically exhibit larger sizes with fewer working members, often headed by unmarried females. Additionally, factors such as adult equivalence, the head of the household's years of formal education, land ownership, membership in agricultural production groups, engagement in agricultural commercialization, contact with extension agents, and encounters with Fulani herdsmen significantly influenced households' food calorie consumption. Furthermore, all variables considered in the ordinary least squares regression, regarding vulnerability to food insecurity, exhibited a significant relationship with households' vulnerability to food insecurity. In summary, the study provides valuable insights into the demographic and socio-economic factors affecting calorie consumption and vulnerability among rice farmers, offering a foundation for targeted interventions and policy considerations.

“…The average household size indicates that the actors are characterized by large family sizes. According to Bobola et al (2019) and Badamosi et al (2023), it can be inferred that larger household sizes are kept as a means of obtaining labour (household labour) which tends to be a cheaper source of labour for most rural businesses. The majority (80.0%) of the farmers, 73.3% of processors, and 64.3% of marketers were married.…”

The study was carried out to examine the socioeconomic and performance of the dried melon value chain in Owo Local Government Area of Ondo State, Nigeria. The data for the study were collected primarily using a well-structured questionnaire. A two-stage sampling procedure was used to randomly select 120 respondents. Descriptive statistics, budgetary techniques, and multiple regression models were used to analyse the data. The results of the socioeconomic characteristics revealed that male dominates the producers’ chain while female dominates the processors’ and marketers' chains. All the actors were still in their economic active age with a mean age of around 40 years old. Many of the actors were married and had good years of experience with the producers being the highest (18 years). Apart from the producers, many of the actors were educated with at least a primary school education. Processors made more income (N190,374.7) than the producers (N175,709.3) and the marketers (N132,374.4). Despite that, the budgetary techniques confirmed that each chain was profitable, the return on investment was at the highest (0.59) for the processors followed by the producers (0.44) and then, the marketers (0.40). The market margin results showed 0.31, 0.37, and 0.29 for the processors, producers, and marketers, respectively. The results of the multiple regression indicated that costs of labour, transportation, and fixed input significantly influenced producers’ volume of sales. The variables like education, unit price, and labour cost significantly influenced processors’ volume of sales, while age, sex, income, experience, and unit price significantly influenced the marketers’ volume of sales. Therefore, it can be recommended that government intervention is crucial in the melon value chain by subsidizing the inputs to reduce the cost of production and processing. The government should also provide credit facilities and other infrastructure, such as roads, which will reduce the high cost of transportation.
